What People Are Saying About French American Brasserie

The Scene – Downtown Atlanta is enjoying a resurgence, and FAB is poised to capitalize on it. The place is stunning, a grand brasserie in the truest sense (although smoking is only allowed on the rooftop): 15,000 square feet spread over four floors with a circular bar, grand staircase, hand-painted ceilings, marble and brass accents, and ornate chandeliers. Service is as polished as the setting; omnipresent owner Fabrice Vergez oversees all. – – The Food – Longtime fans will recognize classics like the white bean and truffle oil soup and sautéed skate wing…
Food Critics Please Read

I think it's funny how all of the self proclaimed food critics like to bash this place, and then give mad praise. I have decided to step out of my daily grind and join the ranks of these so called critics, so, here it goes.....
This place freakin rocks! The food was amazing (musseles, crab, salmon).... The beer was quite cold (even on the roof top in the middle of July).... The limes complimented the Patron shots (we'll call them training wheels).... The service was on point (probably because we came to spend money).... The price was quite cheap (see above)....The atmosphere was a knock out (and i don't even like french people)...The manager was the best i've ever seen with guest (and she was a hot blonde)... and the dessert? words can't describe it (we had another shot of Patron)....
Now, for all the "food critics" that probablly came from the swamp lands of sout Ga, If you don't like the price, Get a real Job Hippie! I hear the health dept is hiring. If you don't like the food, i hear they have a wonderful roof top to jump off . You know this place is the sh*t, admit it and move on!
Thank you FAB!!! We will be back!

I just went to FAB for the first time two weeks ago for a friend's rehearsal dinner and I was so blown away that I actually went back for dinner the next week!!!
In terms of private dinners, FAB was by far one of the best I have ever been to (and considering I am from the south and 25, I go to a LOT of these things!). The service was phenomenal. I barely realized they were there. We started with a cocktail hour on the beautiful rooftop and it was truly magical. So much so, it was hard to get us all downstairs for dinner.
We took the elevator to the floor below the roof (3 maybe?) and there awaiting us was an entire floor to ourselves with a bar and a huge room perfect for our group of 100!
From there it continued to get better as FAB definitely does not do your typical banquet food. Almost everything was straight from the menu and delicious.
Bottom line, if you need a place for a party call them!
When I went back as a regular diner, I sat in the downstairs dining room. My server was actually French! The food once again was great. Mussels are to die for and you have to try their steak. I swear it is better than most steak houses in Atlanta. The owner even stopped by to do a personal table visit which you just don't see anymore.
All in all, food and service are top notch and the ambiance is truly something different than all these warehouse modern places opening up all over the city.
- Pros: rooftop, events, food, service too many to name
we were impressed

Decided to check this place out. don't understand the mixed reviews, because we had a great time! I had no idea you can dine on the roof! The roof rocks!!!!!! Service was very detailed and friendly. Our waiter recommended a fish - skate? This was the best dish I've tried! I highly recommend this place. We even showed up in jeans and a tee shirt, with no problem! I didn't get the attitude I was expecting...wow! This really is a friendly place!!!!!
- Pros: rooftop
- Cons: valet is in garage
